OSF Global Services Offers Plug-In for Constant Contact, Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011

IT professional services provider OSF Global Services has rolled out a new plug-in that integrates Constant Contact email marketing with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 online or on premise.

The unlimited user license costs $525.00 for the first year subscription and $250.00 to renew the subscription annually. After the integration tool is downloaded onto a user's system, it lets the users push data, such as marketing lists, leads, accounts and contacts from the CRM to Constant Contact. It also lets users retrieve email statistics from campaigns sent via Constant Contact, according to company officials.

Users can access and view campaign reports directly in Dynamics CRM, including identifying the leads/contacts that opened the message, clicked through the links, or opted out from receiving future emails. Rather than updating contact information in both applications, users can manage contacts in Dynamics CRM and then that contact information will be automatically updated in Constant Contact, saving time and eliminating tedious updates, according to officials.
